When composing mail, mistype the From: address, for example by adding a few extra @@ signs, so if you hit 'send' by mistake it won't go out, possibly saving you from embarrassment or worse.

I don't add my e-mail address to my Dictionary for Outlook so that the spell check pops up when sending e-mail externally. Always gives me that extra second to reconsider. Scary how much I've realized I did something wrong in that one extra step.

Beard trimmers that have a vacuum and suck in the clippings are the nuts.

Sorry. You didn't invent this.

Please do this. We'd really prefer not to speak to idiots like you. I'm confident that I speak for all women on this subject.

Lol, proof that misogyny and stupidity go hand in hand. I love the thought of your dumb ass wasting time by making more than one call bc you're so bigoted.

Also, "moldy" and "a women" lol.

Yeah, the collar button was nice but that part blew my mind. Had no idea the collar was supposed to "roll." Really brought out my inner metrosexual.

The key tips most people forget about:
- Iron the shirt while it is still moist (I use "less dry" on my dryer), or give it a few sprays with a spray bottle
- The collar trick is good
- Not wearing it immediately

The JVC marshmallows for ~ $12 are very, very good. Obviously won't compete with expensive pairs, but I personally liked them better than the $20 MEElectronic M9's I have now.

Generally if you want to make friends, be very complimentary of their skills or stroke their ego. IE. I told my friend he was jacked after he came back from the gym and he seemed to really like the compliment. (no ****) This however does not work with females.

Being a nice guy only works on women. College girls and high school girls mostly like the jerks.

When eating at my campus, to avoid dirty cups or plates i generally take the one underneath the top one, since its less exposed to the air... maybe I'm just paranoid?

If you have acne make sure to not touch your face at all and you will see a big difference.

Getting 8 hours of sleep is really important, and if you want to be healther overall this is probably the most important thing you can do.

The human body is very adaptive and takes a lot of abuse.

Most women just want to be genuinely be listened to, and if you do this you can pretty much get away with murder as long as you actually pay attention. Also admitting your wrong is a huge advantage in that women can't continue to nag on you since you've admitted you were wrong leaving them speechless.

You can really tell how people feel about certain things simply by watching their face. Most people lie a lot.

If someone lies they almost always blink a little bit longer as they say their lie. If they turn away from you they are almost always lying. If they try too hard to look directly at you they are also probably lying.

Most of your high school and college friends will not be your friends after you graduate college. Finding livelong friends is very rare.

Taking philosophy in school was probably the most eye opening experience in understanding life and the way things are.

Everything you do or don't do does make a difference in someway or another.

Well said (applause)
